Partial molal volumes of anilinium chloride in several methanol-water mixtures have been determined at . The maximum in limiting slopes and the minimum in partial molal volumes at 0.4 mole fraction have been interpreted as the result of maximum electrostriction of the solvent with the minimum free volume.

This investigation is to make comparative evaluation of the corrosion inhibiting effects of quinoline, oxine and 7-nitroso 8-hydroxy quinoline (7NHQ). In case of quinoline, and oxine, since the N atom in them functions as cation, the process involved is assumed to be cathode control. On the other hand 7-NHQ was found to form a stable chelate compound with ion in acidic solution and shows as anode control predominantly. After plotting polarization curves, Tafel parameters were calculated in each solution involving the inhibitors, at the same time corrosion inhibiting effects were separately measured and compared from data of both corrosion current and analytical method.

UV absorption spectra of some metalized monoazo complexes have been measured, and the structure of the complexes is discussed based on the spectra. A compressed octahedron is proposed as the geometrical structure of the complexes.

lnorganic polymers, which are composed of metal (Ⅱ) ions and Schiff's Base of quinizarin-ethylenediamine, have been prepared. In order to find out proper conditions for the reaction, some investigations have been carried out to test the effect of pH, kind of solvent and the state of reagent. As a result, the highest yield occurred near pH 7 and it was found that there were not great difference in the kind of solvent and the state of reagent we had used. Most of the polymers are seemed not to be those we have attempted to prepare. They are found to be coordination polymers which have rather low molecular weight.

Elution curves of and have been made with a 5 cm column of the resin, (100-200 mesh), using solutions of various PH value as eluent. Complete separation of and was obtained in each PH of 10% EtOH. According to the evaluation of peak position and number of peaks of elution curves, it is likely to exist cationic species of .

X-ray Fluorescence Spectrographic method has been applied for the rapid determination of main components, such as , , , CaO, MgO and in Silicate Minerals. In this method, Boric Acid was used as a binder after fusion with Lithium Tetraborate in the briquet-making process. The Lithium Flubride, Ammonium di-Hydrogen Phosphate and Ethylene Diamine d-Tartrate crystals were used with Scintillation counter and Gas Flow counter as the detectors. Several influences on this method were discussed, including the particle size of samples and reducing of the matrix effects by dilution with Boric Acid and addition of Lanthanum Oxide with the diluent. In order to test the reproducibility of this method described above, the determination of the same kind of samples were carried out repeatedly, and the results obtained were presented in the table. Calibration curves for each element were presented, and the application of the method was tested with International Rock Standard T-Ⅰ. All the results obtained by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrographic method were compared with the results by conventional chemical method.

By the chemical procedure and infra-red spectroscopy, the characteristics of humic acid were studied. The results were as follows: 1. Molecular weight. 5,200. 2. Molecular formula. . 3. Rational formula. 4. Confirmation of the accurate structure of humic acid is beyond us nowadays. The structure is speculated that it may be a kind of condensed polymer of many benzene kerns in which above mentioned various functional groups are attached. Also some part of the large quantities of oxygen would be furan type carbonyl and aliphatic ethereal forms.

The adaptabilities of various nitrohumates (-K, -Na and salt) as a soil conditioner and a raw material for soluble phosphatic fertilizer were studied. 1. Nitrohumates (especially salt) protect the soil from fissures and control the phosphoric acid adsorptive functions of soils considerably. 2. Most effective nitrohumic acids as a soil conditioner were prepared with 15% solution composed of five times of original humic acids (by weight) at for 2 hrs under continuous stirring. 3. When 50% (by weight) of -nitrohumate were added to apatites in water and boiled for 2 hrs, maximum 26% of (apatite contains 37% of ) were changed into water soluble forms.

Flourination of Ethyl, -dichloro--phenyl propionate, Ethyl -dibromo -phenyl propionate, Ethyl -dichloro -(p-chloro-phenyl) propionate, and dibromostyrene by potassium fluoride were investigated in presence of dimethyl formamide, diethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol monomethyl-ether. The reactivity of these organic halogen esters and hydrocarbons towards potassium fluoride was checked further by means of radioactive fluorine-18. tracer. Generally, the reaction gave monofluoride together with dehalogenated olefin. The formation of olefine was increased when the reaction was done at high reaction temperature in presence of diethylene glycol, whereas the lower reaction temperature in presence of diethyleneglycol monomethyl ether favored the formation of mono fluoride in a good yield. The procedures and methods of the identification of monofluorides were described and the feasibility of this reaction of fluorine containing ester including the F-18 labelled compounds was discussed.

4-Ethyltropolone has been prepared in three steps from cyclopentadiene by a dichloroketene process, and at the same time, a comparison has also been made with the case of tropolone synthesis. In the addition reaction of dichloroketene to cyclopentadiene as well as to ethylcyclopentadiene, and also in the separation of cycloadducts from reaction mixture, the best results were given by prevention of the reactants from dimerization. Under these condition, the yields of cycloadducts were around 70% for both. Tropolone and 4-ethyltropolone were obtained in the yield of 51% and 32%, respectively, by hydrolysis of cycloadducts with potassium acetate in aqueous acetic acid. These results revealed that the steric effect of ethylgroup was more sensitive to the hydrolysis than to the cycloaddition reaction. A comparison of UV, IR and NMR spectroscopic results of 4-ethyltropolone with those of tropolone was also made together with a brief discussion of the tropolone ring system and ethylgroup effect.

By the three-step synthesis of alkyltropolone from five-membered cyclopentadiene, as described in Part Ⅰ, methyltropolone has been prepared. From the hydrolysis product of dichloroketene-methylcyclopentadiene cycloadduct, -(Ⅰ) and -methyltropolone (Ⅱ) were separated, with the first predominating, by means of repeated fractional recrystallization and fractional vacuum sublimation. The total yield of these methyltropolones in the hydrolysis step was about 40%. Comparison of this result with those obtained in part Ⅰ revealed the following order as the relative readiness of their preparation: tropolone > methyltropolone > ethyltropolone. The reason for formation of the isomeric (Ⅱ) was discussed by an interpretation of NMR spectrum of cycloadduct in the unsaturation and methylgroup region.

The structural investigations on the adducts, formed from dichloroketene with cyclopentadiene, methyl and ethylcyclopentadiene, have been carried out by means of infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and also by their chemical behaviors. It was confirmed by this study that the adducts were formed by 1, 2-cycloaddition reaction and had the fundamental structure of bicyclo [3. 2. 0]-7,7-dichloro-2-heptene-6-one. These results were well agreed with the hypothesis that a diradical intermediate was formed as the first step in 1, 2-cycloaddition. The reaction mechanism for the process in which tropolones were formed from these adducts was also discussed.

Jalapin purified from the tubers of the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) was deacylated and subjected to structural elucidation. Complete and degraded acid hydrolyses indicated the presence of L-rhamnose, D-fucose and D-glucose in the molar ratio of 1: 1: 1 and in the increasing order of acid-stability. While two moles of periodate were consumed per mole of the product, D-glucose survived in the oxidation. The following structure was, therefore, proposed tentatively for the deacylated jalapin: L--(14)-D--(13)-D--(111)-jalapinolic acid.
